The prosecution and defense laid out different versions of a fight, which could land a man in jail for the rest of his life, that happened at a gas station two years ago.

Donald Dickerson, 42, Baton Rouge, is accused of beating a man and two women at a gas station two years ago. Before the attack, Dickerson allegedly told the victims they were in the "wrong neighborhood."

He is charged with second-degree battery in the May 12, 2013 attack. He is facing the possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison if he is convicted as a habitual offender.

Defense attorneys said it is unclear what led to the fight, but once it was broken up, the victim turned into the aggressor and that led to his injuries.

The trial is expected to last several days.

Dickerson is accused of beating a man, his wife and their daughter at the Chevron station on Plank Road at Scenic Highway. Police arrested him on a charge of second-degree battery and ticketed two others. They are all accused of punching the family.

If it had meen me and mine, there would be no trial. The attacker(s) would have been shot to death.

BTW, Baton Rouge is my hometown. Plank @ Scenic hasn’t been safe for white people in 50 years.

Unfortunately, the prisons are not big enough to hold all these scumbags that should be off the streets.

Sounds like Scenic Highway needs a new name.

My one and only time in Houston I definitely ended up in the wrong neighborhood when I finally stopped to ask for directions. Although there were several people in and around the convenience store they were a bit curious as to why I was there but very helpful getting me directions and I or them never felt threatened at all.

The left likes this. They are happy it happened and feel the Whites deserved it because of “white privilege”.
The non-Whites were just rising up against their “oppressors”.

"Martin Luther King Boulevard"

I demand that all Martin Luther King street signs be taken down and black history month be abolished. This hatred must be stopped by removing all offending symbols.

There is no "wrong neighborhood" if one is properly armed.

I'd have gotten me a 40 point buck that night....

For the new name, I’m thinking Martin Luther King Boulevard.
